Australia were reeling at 3-0 after two overs as a rampant Bangladesh sniffed a historic ODI series victory in Mirpur on Thursday.
After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Australia captain Josh Inglis watched his top-order fold around him as Matt Short, Cooper Connolly and Matt Renshaw all fell for ducks.
Matt Short was bowled for a duck. Kayo
Short was bowled after leaving a Taskin Ahmed delivery in the first over before Mustafizur Rahman had Connolly and Renshaw caught behind in the second.
Veteran left-armer Mustafizur then had his third scalp when Alex Carey sliced him to Najmul Hossain Shanto at point to depart for 13.
Inglis was looking comfortable in reaching 34 before holing out to deep cover from Tanvir Islam’s spin.
After 20 overs, an understrength Australia were 5-79 with Cameron Green 24* and Marnus Labuschagne 4*.
Bangladesh won the first of three ODIS by 86 runs on Tuesday.
Bangladesh have never beaten Australia in an ODI series.
